THE PARTY
Ah, yes back to the preparation.
To set the scene it is important to know I am a greedy bastard. I eat a lot in the traditional way which translates to a very very lot when dropping cheese and meat from the menu. My first week policy has been to pay anything and have two breakfasts and two lunches.
Now picture the big hungry bastard at a catered party in a golf club on the peninsula. The birthday boy got wind of my 'issues' and put me on the special needs list which was great. The vegan offerings were very nice. This is where I realised my heavy reliance on extreme overeating to get through this.
I asked someone relatively knowledgeable if Johnny walker and cola is vegan. They said it's fine so I administered one every half an hour until the pain went away. (see note on day one and zip it).
Home at 1am feeling like a 15 year old on Marsala and promptly skulled a can of beans. Solo man/Dolmio mash up.

DAY 1
Prepare prepare prepare.
Didn't didn't didn't.
I am catching up here, which I thought would be easy, but there is very little I remember of the first few days. I already drink a soy latte for the taste, so no problem there.
I woke up and went to work. Fortunately I am in Collingwood and have been told it is chokkers full of vegan hospitality and shopping. Yes well it seems that vegans need a good lie in as no V cafe is open before 10 am.
NOW'S A GOOD TIME FOR A SPECIAL NOTE. I am researching and working hard to follow a vegan diet. Not for a medal, money and especially not to impress ferals. If I mention eating something on here that doesn't comply, or may not comply keep it to yourself. I probably know now or am about to know. I just don't give enough of a fuck to listen to anyone that I don't know telling me shit.
Anyway, Marieke reminded me quickly that breakfast is easy due to its modular nature. Toast, avocado, beans, mushrooms, hash browns . No problems. I went to see Carol at the local sandwich shop.

Big Mouth Strikes Again
Last year I promised the world (facebook) that I would do two months of veganism in 2013.
2013 came quickly and the months started slipping by, so May 1 was declared the beginning of the experiment.
Why are you doing this? I have heard this dozens of times and to be honest I cant remember fully, but it was after an online bickering session between propaganda touting vegans and holocaust denying carnivores. My best guess is that I wanted to experience both sides of an argument and/or satisfy some kind of curiosity. Some say (me) that I might even be guilty of "Seinfeld's Dentist Syndrome".
Either way it is NOT an animal rights thing, OR a health thing. It is especially NOT a lifestyle thing Improved health and righteousness may well be a by-product of this experiment.
Enough bullshit and onto the starvation.
